example: how to make brazil the 17th race...
1. Activate GpxTrack in GPxpatch.
In GPxTrack, enter brazil's trackfile s1ct03.dat in slot 17 and save as xyz.set.
2. Point GP4 to the right .wad file for brazil with CMagic (by Marc Aarts):
- Start CMagic
- Browse to GP4 track file s1ct03.dat.
- click "edit gp4info"
- click "add" to add a new value
- type "prefix" as the values name and "ok"
- click in the new textfield and type the name of the tracks wad-file, "interlagos2001" without the ".wad"
- save.
3. some more GP4info-values you can add with CMagic:
"laps" (for brazil: 71), "name", "country", "adjective" ('brazilian'
4. Insert the right magic data into brazil's trackfile s1ct03.dat with CMAgic:
- edit -> create magic-file from GP4.exe, track number 03 (because in original GP4, brazil is the third track).
- if you like, edit the magic data with a text-editor (there's a lot of interesting things, CC-setups, CC-pit strategies etc...)
- Browse to GP4 track file s1ct03.dat.
- "insert data"
5. for the loading screen: go to folder MAPS\RESOURCES in GP4-directory and rename track3.bmp to track17.bmp
6. for the menu-text, go to folder MenuData\PC\GP2001 and edit "GP2001_English.gps" (or another language) with a texteditor, search for the "Suzuka/Japan" and replace it with "interlagos".
(7. for the little map in the track-selection-menu, i didnt find anything, help appreciated...)
this works perfect for me, i hope i didnt forget anything important
